Geonologies: Their ancestry originated in Ebubukachi near Tororo in Uganda. It is now upwards of two thousand years since the Abamarama settled in their present country of Marama. . He had six sons here - Mwichira, Omukhobero, Wangusi, Lisa, Walyuba and Wesamba. Dola was the father of Shiusi, father of Tsingano, father of Nalukhoma, father of Khakono, father of Bukachi, father of Wetsochi, father of Wamukhula Marama, father of Bukachi (named after Wamukhula’s grandfather) and Wesamba (named after the place?) and of Mutobera, being feeble”. |
Separation from Abatamanyini: Omuhaka-Mwafusi son of Alakonya used to pay frequent visits to the sons of Wesamba he always took his harp with him on these visits. Whenever he went to the home of Shisoka son of Wesamba (who was bent double on account of his extreme old age) and found him seated, he always asked him: "Sir, in which place did it appear? (this is a saying connected with the hunting of guinea fowls. Because the back of the guinea fowl resembles the bent figure of an old man, the question is used derogatively by young people to deride old folk). After Omuhaka's departure people used to tell the old man that the young man was simply deriding him and that he was obviously referring to his figure and not to the guinea fowls. At this the old man always moaned saying: "I wish I had a son to fight with him." And when the old man's son called Wandanje Olunywenywe heard all this, he decided to fight with Omuhaka Mwafusi the next time he came. More>>> |
